Summer brings to mind an old-fashioned, flavourful dish made with simple, seasonal ingredients, which is still very popular today, particularly in certain regions of southern Italy: Puglia, Basilicata and Campania. We are talking about \u2018acquasale\u2019, better known as\u00a0acquasala<\/strong>\u00a0which gives pride of place to the most precious food on the table, namely bread \u2013 which, in this recipe, is stale. Because, just as in the past, nothing is thrown away today.<\/p>\n Especially on these hot days, it\u2019s a real struggle to turn on the hob in the kitchen, and it\u2019s certainly not very appealing to eat a \u201chot, steaming dish\u201d. So we prefer to simply put the ingredients together\u00a0fresh and seasonal<\/strong>\u00a0which require no cooking at all to prepare this quick, simple and very tasty dish, much loved by Italians.<\/p>\n Ingredients:\u00a0<\/strong>stale bread, salt, extra virgin olive oil, seasonal tomatoes, oregano.<\/p>\n The\u00a0stale bread<\/strong>\u00a0It can be crumbled, left whole, arranged on the bottom of a plate or placed in a salad bowl and softened by adding water. Next, add the remaining ingredients: fresh, seasonal tomatoes, chopped into small pieces; salt to taste; a measured amount of extra virgin olive oil; and finally, a sprinkling of oregano to bring out the flavour. It makes for a truly delicious starter, just as the original recipe intends.<\/p>\n Whilst in his\u00a0modern variant<\/strong>\u00a0it can also be regarded as a\u00a0main course<\/strong>\u00a0only if you add other ingredients that complement the original recipe, making it complete, balanced and well-rounded: depending on your personal tastes and dietary preferences, this dish can also be enhanced by adding garlic and\/or Tropea red onions.<\/p>\n It can be considered a star summer dish that you simply cannot do without, both because it is so quick to prepare and because of the aromas and flavours that such a simple dish can offer. In conclusion, in our beloved region, Lucania, \u2018acquasale\u2019 can also be prepared by adding\u00a0crispy peppers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The simplicity of the dish, the seasonal nature of the ingredients, and the authenticity provided by nature. We hope our readers enjoy their meal.<\/p>\n Photo: Facebook<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" L\u2019estate rievoca alla mente un piatto antico, saporito e preparato con semplici ingredienti stagionali che ancora oggi \u00e8 molto diffuso in particolare in alcune regioni del Sud Italia : Puglia, Basilicata e Campania.
